FK Partizan have signed promising FK Zeta midfield duo, Nenad Brnovic and Branimir Petrovic.
Family footsteps
Brnovic follows his brother Bojan to the club after he made the same move last summer. The 24-year-old has won eleven international caps since his début in April 2002 against Lithuania, but his club side has struggled in the four seasons he has been there following his move from FK Kula in 2000. "This is an important step for me," Brnovic said. "Now I will play for a big club, so I can really develop my career."
U21 success
Fellow Zeta player Petrovic has also signed a four-year deal for the UEFA Cup qualifiers. The 22-year-old was a member of the Serbo-Montenegrin team that finished runners-up at the UEFA European Under-21 Championship in Germany in May. Petrovic began his career at third division club FK Sloboda Uzice before moving to Zeta two years ago.
